Just discovered a great way to practice addition math facts that involves strategy and concentration. The object of the game is to move one of the numbers on the game board to that it is side by side with another number(s). When all the numbers are added together, they equal to 10 (or later on 12).
The game is located: http://www.reflexive.com/index.php?PAGE=WebGamePlay&WGID=87
Another quick note: their last booklet of mental math was sent home with them on Thursday. I asked them to get it corrected and signed for Wednesday.
Hope everyone had a great day!

Great Math Websites
Some wonderful math sites that we've enjoyed at one time or another in the classroom. Great way for the grade 3's to reinforce some of the math skills we've been building in school:

Task for the Weekend
Hi Everyone,
Just a little note about the task that the students have to do for Math this weekend. We have asked them to flip a coin 20 times and count the number of heads or tails they flip. We had a vote and are hoping to graph the results sometime this week.
Enjoy the long weekend!

Update!
Hello grade 3 parents!
Sorry for the long delay between posts - it has been a hectic time of year. Meetings upon meetings!
A letter went home last week from Ms. Lyndsay Ingersoll. She will be with us each Wednesday for the rest of the year. She will be doing the main instructing on Wednesdays while I will be pulling students for small group and individual instruction time. Ms. Ingersoll will also be teaching Science to the grade 3 class and will be the one assigning their Science grade for the last report card of the year. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Other news: Our boxes for Afghanistan have been packed and sent out. They are enroute to Gagetown where they will be delivered to Belleville. We collected 10 boxes crammed with clothes, toys, stationary and hygiene products for the children! What an outpouring of love!
The spelling the children received today will be the last for the year. We will be putting a larger emphasis on Math from now until June. They will still be receiving reading or writing homework, but additional math will be sent home. Please continue to practice math facts with them daily.
Finally, the children have been asked to bring home their mental math to be signed and corrected. They have received new booklets that they will be working on in class - once these ones have been completed, they too will return home for parent/guardian signature and correcting (I do encourage them to try to correct their mental math daily as it is still fresh in their minds!).
I hope everyone has had the chance to enjoy the gorgeous weather we had today!
